●Assisting the driver to judge proper
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control determines whether the following dis-
tance between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead is within a set range. It is not
capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary for the driver to remain vig- ilant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger in any
given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the
vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control
does not include functions which will
prevent or avoid collisions with vehi- cles ahead of your vehicle. Therefore,
if there is ever any possibility of dan-
ger, the driver must take immediate and direct control of the vehicle and
act appropriately in order to ensure
the safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for
dynamic radar cruise control
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con-
trol in any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury.

Turning the Blind Spot Monitor on/off.
Outside rear view mirror indica-
tors
When a vehicle is detected in a blind
spot of the outside rear view mirrors or
approaching rapidly from behind into a
blind spot, the outside rear view mirror
indicator on the detected side will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated
toward the detected side, the outside
rear view mirror indicator flashes.
BSM indicator
Illuminates when the Blind Spot Monitor
is enabled
■Outside rear view mirror indicator visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear view
mirror indicator may be difficult to see.
■When “Blind Spot Monitor Unavail- able” is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display
Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be attached to the rear bumper around the sensors.
( P.300) The system should return to
normal operation after removing the ice,
snow, mud, etc. from the rear bumper. Additionally, the sensors may not oper-
ate normally when driving in extremely
hot or cold environments.
BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on the
inner side of the rear bumper
on the left and right side to
assist the driver in confirming
safety when changing lanes.
WA R N I N G
■Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely, tak- ing care to observe your
surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supple-
mentary function which alerts the
driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is
approaching rapidly from behind into
a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the Blind Spot Monitor. As the function
cannot judge if it is safe to change
lanes, over reliance could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
As the system may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the
driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

vehicle cannot be detected.
*2: The greater the difference in speed between your vehicle and the detected vehi-
cle is, the farther away the vehicle will be detected, causing the outside rear view
mirror indicator to illuminate or flash.
■The Blind Spot Monitor is opera-
tional when
The Blind Spot Monitor is operational
when all of the following conditions are
met:
●The Blind Spot Monitor is on.
●The shift lever is in a position other
than R.
●The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 16 km/h (10 mph).
■The Blind Spot Monitor will detect a
vehicle when
The Blind Spot Monitor will detect a
vehicle present in the detection area in
the following situations:
●A vehicle in an adjacent lane over-
takes your vehicle.
●You overtake a vehicle in adjacent
lane slowly.
●Another vehicle enters the detection
area when it changes lanes.
■Conditions under which the system will not detect a vehicle
The Blind Spot Monitor is not designed
to detect the following types of vehicles
and/or objects:
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestri-
ans, etc.*
●Vehicles traveling in the opposite
direction
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehi-
cles and similar stationary objects*
●Following vehicles that are in the
same lane*
●Vehicles traveling 2 lanes away from
your vehicle*
●Vehicles which are being overtaken
rapidly by your vehicle*
*: Depending on the conditions, detec-
tion of a vehicle and/or object may
occur.
■Conditions under which the system may not function correctly
●The Blind Spot Monitor may not detect vehicles correctly in the following situ-
ations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its
surrounding area
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is covering the sensor or surrounding
area on the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or
fog • When multiple vehicles are approach-
ing with only a small gap between
each vehicle • When the distance between your vehi-
cle and a following vehicle is short
• When there is a significant difference in speed between your vehicle and
the vehicle that enters the detection
area • When the difference in speed
between your vehicle and another
vehicle is changing • When a vehicle enters a detection
area traveling at about the same
speed as your vehicle • As your vehicle starts from a stop, a
vehicle remains in the detection area
• When driving up and down consecu-
tive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces
• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when
driving on the edge of a lane, and the vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away
from your vehicle
• When towing a trailer

sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections pro-
jecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle
People may not be detected if they are
wearing certain types of clothing.
■Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the ability of a sensor to correctly detect
objects. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor
is frozen the sensor display may be displayed abnormally, or objects, such
as a wall, may not be detected.
●A sensor is covered in any way.
●When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detec-
tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of
other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the
vehicle
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
●When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves
(ex. skirts with ga thers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpendicu-
lar to the ground, not perpendicular to
the vehicle traveling direction, une- ven, or waving are in the detection
range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a
detected object
●If an object such as a vehicle, motor-
cycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in
front of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle
●If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other
impact
●When equipment that may obstruct a
sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet, bumper protector (an addi- tional trim strip, et c.), bicycle carrier,or
snow plow
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a
stable manner, such as when the
vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit is used
■Situations in which the system may
operate even if there is no possibil-
ity of a collision
In some situations, such as the follow-
ing, the system may operate even
though there is no possibility of a colli- sion.
